Frequently asked questions 1. How do I contact the President of the sixty-eighth session of the General Assembly? His Excellency, Mr. John Ashe (Antigua and Barbuda) Telephone: 212-963-7555; Fax: 212-963-3301. Room CB-0246 (see page 13). 2. How many copies of statements are needed for distribution in the General Assembly Hall? Where and when do I deliver them? A minimum of 30 copies of the text of statements to be delivered at the high-level meetings and the general debate should be sub- mitted in advance to the Conference Officers; failing this, delega- tions are urged to provide 10 copies for the interpreters before the speaker takes the floor. If delegations wish to have the text of statements distributed to all delegations, observers, the special- ized agencies, interpreters, verbatim reporters and press officers, 350 copies are required. Delegations who wish to circulate their statements electronically through the e-services portal offered by the Secretariat may send their statement at least two hours in ad- vance to an e-mail address to be announced in the Journal of the United Nations or present a copy of the statement for scanning and uploading to the portal. Given the security arrangements in place for the high-level meeting and the general debate, texts of statements should be de- livered to the receiving area located at the rear of the General As- sembly Hall between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. by a delegation representative in possession of a valid United Nations grounds pass (see page 28). 3. Can documents or other materials relevant to the meetings be made available in the General Assembly Hall for the meeting? Only United Nations documents and statements of speakers can be distributed in the Hall before or during a meeting. Any other perti- nent materials can be made available in the General Assembly Hall upon authorization by the Chief of the General Assembly Affairs Branch (ext. 3.2336 in room S-3051 or ext. 3.9110 in GA-200 (NLB)). 4. What is the procedure for tabling a draft resolution/decision?1 • The electronic version accompanied by a hard copy containing the final text of a draft resolution/decision must be submitted by an accredited delegate of a Mission, and signed in the pres- ence of the General Assembly Affairs Branch staff member responsible for processing draft resolutions/decisions. • The submitting delegation provides a list of co-sponsors if any. • If the new draft resolution/decision is based on a previous one, the old text may be downloaded from the United Nations Official Document System (ODS) at http://ods.un.org, and nec- essary changes made, i.e. new text in bold and unwanted text clearly marked for deletion. Sponsors are strongly encouraged to submit draft resolutions/deci- sions in electronic format by e-mail. However, procedures estab- lished by the General Assembly and the Main Committees may vary. Please contact the Secretary of the respective Main Committee re- garding a particular submission procedure (see pages 16-20). 5. How can a Member State co-sponsor a draft resolution/decision? Member States wishing to co-sponsor a particular draft resolution/ decision must sign the co-sponsorship form with: (a) the Member State coordinating the draft resolution; or (b) the staff member of the General Assembly Affairs Branch responsible for draft resolutions/ decisions in the General Assembly Hall during plenary meetings or at other times in room S-3044. Co-sponsorship cannot be done through any kind of correspond- ence, e-mail etc. Note that co-sponsorship cannot be accepted after the adoption of the draft resolution. 6. Where can I get a blank copy of the co-sponsorship form? A blank copy of the co-sponsorship form can be obtained from the offices of the General Assembly Affairs Branch, room S-3044, or in the General Assembly Hall during plenary meetings. 1 A guideline with tips for submission of draft resolutions in the General Assembly is available online at www.un.org/ga/65/resolutions.shtml. 7. What is the procedure to reflect in the PV records how a Member State intended to vote on a draft resolution/decision? A member of the delegation can fill out a form provided by the Gen- eral Assembly Affairs Branch and a footnote will be added to the PV record of the meeting. 8. Where can I get a copy of the voting record on the resolution/ decision adopted? Voting records are distributed to all Member States in the General Assembly Hall immediately after the adoption. Copies can also be obtained from the General Assembly Affairs Branch in room S-3044. The voting record is also available online using the relevant resolution number (entered, for example, as A/RES/64/148) at http://www.un.org/ga/search/voting.asp. 9. Where can I get a copy of the resolution/decision adopted? A few weeks after adoption, resolutions are published in the A/RES/ series of documents. Until then, the text is contained in the “L” docu- ment, on the ODS or in the report of the relevant Committee and on the website of the General Assembly (www.un.org/ga) (see page 29). Text of resolutions and decisions are published as supplement No. 49 to the official records of the session in three volumes (e.g. A/65/49 (vol. I) to (vol. III)). Generally, volumes I and II contain resolutions and decisions adopted during the main part of the session, respec- tively, and volume III contains resolutions and decisions adopted during the resumed part. 10. Where can I find the list of candidates for General Assembly elections? The list of candidates is available for delegations on the CandiWeb (https://eroom.un.org/eRoom). To access the CandiWeb, please send an e-mail to [email protected] or fax to 212-963-0952. For queries on plenary elections, please contact Ms. Mary Muturi at: 212-963-2337, fax: 212-963-3783 or [email protected]. 11. What is the procedure for requesting the inclusion of an item in the agenda? A request for the inclusion of an item in the agenda should be ad- dressed to the Secretary-General and if possible with copies to the General Assembly Affairs Branch. A request for inclusion of an item in the provisional agenda of a forthcoming regular session, in ac- cordance with rule 13 of the rules of procedure, should be made at least sixty days before the opening of the session. A request for inclusion of a supplementary item in the agenda, in accordance with rule 14 of the rules of procedure, should be made at least thirty days before the opening of the session. In accordance with rule 20 of the rules of procedure, any items proposed for inclusion in the agenda must be accompanied by an explanatory memorandum and, if pos- sible, by basic documents or a draft resolution. 12. How can I find out the programme of work of the General As- sembly and the respective Main Committees? The draft calendar of the programme of work of the plenary is issued in July, covering September to December. The calendar is updated in late September, during the general debate under an INF document symbol (A/INF/68/3). You may contact the Secretary of the respec- tive Main Committee for the programme of work (see pages 16-20). The secretaries’ names, office locations and telephone numbers are available in document A/INF/68/2. 13. How do I request the granting of observer status? The General Assembly, by its decision 49/426, decided that, the granting of observer status should “in the future be confined to States and to those intergovernmental organizations whose activi- ties cover matters of interest to the Assembly”. The request for the granting of observer status needs to emanate from a Member State, or Member States, in the form of a letter to the Secretary-General containing a request for the inclusion of an item in the agenda of the General Assembly. Taking into account the requirement for the item to be considered in the Sixth Committee (resolution 54/195), which meets during the main part of the session between September and December, such requests are normally submitted in time for in- clusion in the provisional agenda of the forthcoming session, or the supplementary list thereto. The list of the observers can be found in document A/INF/[current session]/5, e.g. A/INF/67/5. 14. How do I request a videotape of my head of State’s statement in the General Assembly Hall? Photographs? For videotaping, delegations may request one NTSC DVD of each statement free of charge. Digital files formats such as MPEG2 and MPEG4 (H.264) are also available on demand and can be down- loaded online.

    The Underworld of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations a European Court of Human Rights Perspective

    UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratization A.Y. 2015/2016 THE UNDERWORLD OF UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS A EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE Author: Ioana Delapeta, LL.B Supervisor: Prof. Jan Klabbers 1 In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations. ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956 Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream. ― Martin Luther King Jr. 2 3 Abstract The image of the UN began to be tainted in the past 20 years due to numerous allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation committed by personnel related to its peacekeeping operations. The current study briefly assessed the measures undertook by the organization in order to address the issue, as well as those took by its member states, the former having proved to be inefficient up until now, mostly because of their non-legally binding effect and the latter failing, troop-contributing countries having a very poor record of investigating and prosecuting perpetrators. The core of this paper was to explore alternative solutions to this problem. As such, its main purpose was to ascertain if through the ECtHR’s past and future case-law it would be possible to pressure the members of CoE to either proceed to effective investigations and prosecutions of their nationals involved in similar allegations, or to adapt, when needed, their laws accordingly.

  • Protecting Civilians in War-Torn Syria — a Shared Responsibility Concern’S Work in Response to the Syria Crisis

    Protecting Civilians in War-Torn Syria — a Shared Responsibility Concern’S Work in Response to the Syria Crisis

    Protecting civilians in war-torn Syria — a shared responsibility Concern’s work in response to the Syria Crisis: With support from key donors including Irish Aid, USAID, DFID, ECHO and others including generous donations from the public, Concern has been responding to the crisis in Syria for over four years, working with victims of the conflict in Turkey, Lebanon and within Syria itself. Concern’s work in Syria focuses on emergency response and support for internally displaced people in the north of the country through the provision of: water and sanitation services, including the distribution of hygiene kits; shelter; and the distribution of food baskets and vouchers to allow people to purchase food in local markets. Concern is locally well recognised as an effective and well-prepared emergency responder, continuing to bring critical life-saving and life-sustaining food and household items to people fleeing from conflict and in their places of refuge. Additionally, Concern is providing protection and vocational training support to vulnerable women and children who are suffering the psycho-social and economic hardships of the conflict, including the programme ‘Engaging men and boys to reduce domestic violence’. In 2016, Concern had at least 390,000 direct beneficiaries in Syria across all sectors. The total population reached by Concern’s response to the Syria crisis through programmes in Syria, Turkey and Lebanon in 2016 was 650,000 people.
